  "account": "A Chabad-Lubavitch man from Crown Heights, Yosef, was attacked with a knife on a Manhattan street, only to return to the very location the very next day. The 26-year-old, who wished to remain unnamed, was seen wrapping tefillin for Diamond District employees as usual. Yosef, who has been performing this act for three years, was taken to Bellevue Hospital after the incident, where he was confirmed to have no internal bleeding or the need for stitches. He expressed concern about the attack being potentially a hate crime and urged people not to allow such hate to stop them from performing good deeds. Chabad officials have been meeting with NYPD to discuss security following a series of attacks, including a deadly shooting in Australia and a vehicle attack on their Brooklyn headquarters.",
  "summary": "Yosef, 26, was stabbed on Wednesday while wrapping tefillin and distributing Shabbat candles to Jewish employees in New York City's Diamond District.",
